Ever since I finally got over the pure nausea my cancer (NonHodgkins Lymphoma, diagnosed October 09, in remission) gave me any time I even though about food, I have these incredible cravings. Stronger...much stronger...than I've ever had before in my life.
Lately I've been hot for really good balsamic vinegar. So last night's dinner was a Garlic Balsalmic Glazed Baked Salmon with Brown Rice and Sauteed Vegetables.
As usual, I borrowed and modified a recipe from allrecipes.com.
Sautee a couple of cloves of garlic in olive oil and butter just until they soften. Add...
1 heaping T horseradish mustard
1T white wine
1T honey
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
Stir and let cook for 3-5 minutes just to thicken it up a little. Cool and pour on the salmon filets as a maranade. Refrigerate 1 hour. Bake 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees until the fish is flaky.
Perfect. And easy. Which salmon usually is. Now I just need to get creative and venture on to other fish to expand my seafood repetoire.
Yum! Wish I could get my Better Half to eat fish. Loves me some salmon and, yes, balsamic.
